3. ENERGY IS BASICALLY CLASSIFIED INTO 2
CATEGORIES
Renewable and
Non Renewable.
Non Renewable
sources are Coal,
Petrol etc...
Renewable
Sources are Solar,
Biomass, Wind,
Water etc…
4. WIND ENERGY
• All renewable energy ultimately comes from the sun.
• The earth receives 1.74 x 1017 watts of power (per hour) from
the sun.
• About one or 2 percent of this energy is converted to wind
energy
5. WINDMILL DESIGN
A Windmill captures wind energy and then
uses a generator to convert it to electrical
energy.
The design of a windmill is an integral
part of how efficient it will be.

10. INTRODUCTION
Iodosulfuron is a vital herbicide used throughout the
world by virtue of its distinctive properties.
It is known as a post-emergent pesticide which poses
minimal crop damage.
Due to its extensive applications, it has obtained
immense communal interest
The adsorption capacity of herbicide Iodosulfuron was
deliberated through batch equilibrium experimentations
11. EXPERIMENTAL
SOIL SAMPLING AND PREPARATION
•Four to five kg soil samples were collected from six
distinct regions of Pakistan including Taxila, Attock and
Chakwal, Kotli and Karachi.
•Sample assortment was completed in February 2017 with
the mean temperature of 25℃ over all districts.
•Samples were gathered from definite points for each site
through random selection and then they were kept in
clean polythene bags.
12. ADSORPTION EXPERIMENT
All experiments were completed at laboratory at ambient
conditions 24-26°C.
The adsorption experiments were conducted using a
batch equilibrium technique in duplicate.
Acetone was used to prepare a stock solution of
Iodosulfuron.
UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to find out the
pesticide concentration
14. IODOSULFURON REMOVAL USING ACTIVATED
CARBON
Three
measurements
were taken for
each soil sample
collected from
different
districts:
Prior to addition
of activated
carbon.
After three
hours following
the addition of
activated
carbon.
After six hours
after the
addition of
activated
carbon.
15. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The physicochemical properties of soils evaluated included:
I. pH
II. Organic matter (OM)
III. Total carbon (TOC)
IV.Total nitrogen
V.Electrical conductivity
VI.Oil texture
16. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
• The adsorption coefficient values varied broadly.
• Highest adsorption coefficient value was shown by s1 with highest organic
matter of 1.4% and lowest ph of 5.62. Values of R² (0.89-0.99) presented that
the adsorption outcomes were best fitted to linear adsorption model.
• The gibbs free energy values were found negative ranging from -17 kj mol-1
to -20 kj mol-1 proposing physio-sorption and exothermic collaboration
with particular soils.
• Statistical analysis of regression and correlation showed negative correlation
of soil ph and kd(ads) (r2= -0.91 and p= 0.011) and positive correlation with
organic matter (R2= 0.87).
• The highest removal percentages by s1 and s2 were 5 ppm (56%) and 7.5ppm
(47%) respectively.

(B)Results were examined then graphs were
plotted of absorbance versus time.
Chief removal percentages by activated carbon
was displayed by S2 at both concentrations of 5
ppm (56%) and 7.5ppm (69%) respectively.
At the concentration of 5ppm maximum
elimination presented by S2 (56%) and
minimum removal is displayed by S3 (21%)
(Figure 11).
